Anyone have any pointers on istalling a 700 in a 71 Chevelle with a 454? My biggest concern is the cable hookup. Does anyone make a retro kit to mate all this up properly so the shifts are correct? Thanks!

Anyone with the other info I need on the TV cable hookup? RatTrap Nov 1st, 00, 7:28 PM Go to www.700r4.com (http://www.700r4.com) They have everything you could possibly need and are happy to answer questions. ------------------ RatTrap 66 SS Chevelle (13817) sschevymuscle@hotmail.com "Rip the rear view mirror off; Whats behind you is of no importance" rick Nov 1st, 00, 7:48 PM I used the original 350 kickdown cable bracket (350/350 2bbl) when I first installed the 700 in my carbed motor. Used a camaro TV cable. Adjustment was just like factory. This (http://205.178.174.23/sumner/techinfo/700R4p1.html) page has some detailed info on the bracket/cable relationships. It is linked at http://links.chevelles.net/links/Resources/Information/ along with several other useful links. And some more is at http://links.chevelles.net/links/Resources/Technical/ One of the linked pages has some good info on torque converter lockup wiring without a computer. Hope these help. ------------------ Rick 72 El Camino (http://members.home.net/jimmy4/rick1972elky.html) TPI350/700r4 TC#00038 ACES#00140 shvel Nov 3rd, 00, 4:50 AM Hey mstacy, check out both of those web sites.
